Minimal passive realizations of generalized Schur functions in Pontryagin spaces

Passive discrete-time systems in Pontryagin space setting are investigated. In this case the transfer functions of passive systems, or characteristic functions of contractive operator colligations, are generalized Schur functions. The existence of optimal and *-optimal minimal realizations for generalized Schur functions are proved. By using those realizations, a new definition, which covers the case of generalized Schur functions, is given for defects functions. A criterion due to D.Z. Arov and M.A. Nudelman, when all minimal passive realizations of the same Schur function are unitarily similar, is generalized to the class of generalized Schur functions. The approach used here is new; it relies completely on the theory of passive systems.

Passive discrete-time systems with a Pontryagin state space

Passive discrete-time systems with Hilbert spaces as an incoming and outgoing space and a Pontryagin space as a state space are investigated. A geometric characterization when the index of the transfer function coincides with the negative index of the state space is given. In this case, an isometric (co-isometric) system has a product representation corresponding to the left (right) Krein-Langer factorization of the transfer function. A new criterion, based on the inclusion of reproducing kernel spaces, when a product of two isometric (co-isometric) systems preserves controllability (observability), is obtained. The concept of the defect function is expanded for generalized Schur functions, and realizations of generalized Schur functions with zero defect functions are studied.
